Pattaya, Thailand-
A 72-year-old foreign man, believed to be an expat, has been pronounced dead late last night after falling from a central Pattaya condominium.
The incident took place just before midnight in Central Pattaya on the 16th floor of a well-known local condominium and was responded to by Pattaya Police Col. Kulchat Kulchai, Sawang Boriboon rescue services, and TPN media. The name of the condo was withheld pending a full investigation by Pattaya police.
The man, a 72-year-old foreign citizen, was found deceased on a narrow side street around the property. His name and nationality were withheld by TPN media pending notification of his family and embassy expected to be later this morning.
According to Col. Kulchat Kulchai, the man was a foreign expat but had just rented a room in the condo the night before. A bottle of nearly empty liquor and mixers were found in the room but no signs of other residents or foul play.
Col. Kulchat Kulchai stated to TPN media that the man reportedly had a history of medical problems based on early information. A phone number with a point of contact was found prominently placed on a desk in his room and Col. Kulchat stated that the incident may have been death from suicide, although CCTV will be further reviewed to determine if this was the case or if the fall was possibly accidental.
